Afrika-Brigade 999

Afrika-Brigade 999 was a German infantry division that was attached to Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps during World War II. The division was commanded by Joachim Rumohr, and it defended northern Tunisia from Allied attacks in 1943. In early February 1943, Afrika-Brigade 999 was defeated at the Battle of Mateur, and it would be forced to pull back to Cap Bon, where it would eventually be forced to surrender to the British Army.
